Black Journey to the West: The Imposter Star Lord

Chapter 83 The Crimson-Scaled Python (Second Update)

"Buzz!!"

At this moment, Cao Xing was happily harvesting golden incense, feeling the heavy weight in his arms, and his mood couldn't be more relaxed.

Hehe, when Chen Xiang breaks through, everyone's attention will be focused on Chen Xiang. No one will doubt that the medicine bottle in Chen Xiang's arms can also be cultivated into a golden elixir.

Just as Cao Xing was overjoyed and waiting to hear the good news of his sister's breakthrough, the light in front of him suddenly brightened.

No, where did the light come from?

I'm still a meter below the soil, how could any light possibly shine in?

Cao Xing suddenly became alert and immediately sped away, trying to shake off the light.

Little did he know that the golden light was locked onto him tightly, and no matter how Cao Xing dodged left or right, he couldn't shake it off.

Left with no other choice, Cao Xing had to break out of the soil to see what was going on.

As soon as he popped his head out, he saw a mirror hanging in mid-air above his head.

"What kind of magical artifact is that?"

Just as Cao Xing was wondering, something even more surprising happened: his information was displayed on the mirror.

Cao Xing: Disciple of Shangfang Temple, Cultivation: Mid-Foundation Establishment, Holding 21 Golden Incense Sticks. Upon seeing his information so blatantly exposed to everyone, Cao Xing's eyes widened, and he immediately cursed, "Which despicable bastard did this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xing's eyes turned cold. He turned around abruptly and saw three dark clouds flying towards him.

While the opponent was still in mid-air, talismans, magical artifacts, and Taoist magic were already raining down on his head.

Sanqing Temple?

Cao Xing was startled. With a wave of his body, the surrounding rocks quickly formed a thick earthen wall above his head, according to his will.

All that's left is for the magical artifacts, talismanic light, and Taoist magic to come crashing down.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!!"

Debris flew everywhere, and the booming sounds of explosions were deafening.

But for Cao Xing, it felt like nothing more than setting off a string of firecrackers at the door during the Chinese New Year.

Not bad.

Cao Xing nodded secretly. As expected of my creation, it is truly a masterpiece. In the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique, although the Earth Dragon is good at escaping, it is not as good at defense as the Gold Dragon, but its defensive power is still quite good.

At least these three Taoist priests in front of me, even if they are wielding high-grade magic weapons, can't harm me for the time being.

The earth's energy is inexhaustible; the earthen wall in front of me is scattered yet continuous, endlessly regenerating.

However, after this battle, the earth's energy within a hundred miles will probably be completely depleted, and at that time, this place will be barren for at least ten years.

Cao Xing's calm and composed demeanor immediately made the three Taoist priests lose face.

The leading Taoist priest angrily pointed at Cao Xing: "I was going to give you a chance, but did you really think you were invincible?"

After saying this, Kuang Wen flicked his whisk, and millions of silver threads on the whisk, like steel needles, covered the entire mountain. He intended to pierce through the mountain along with the people, and disperse the earth's energy to see what other tricks this kid could have up his sleeve.

A cold glint flashed in Cao Xing's eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced.

He pressed one palm to the ground, activated the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique, and his body was filled with earthy yellow energy.

"Rise!" came a loud shout.

The ground suddenly rose up, and a ferocious dragon head formed from mud and rocks burst out of the ground. Cao Xing waved both palms at the same time, and a continuous stream of earth energy gathered and transformed into two huge dragon claws.

Its left claw is covered in golden scales, while its right claw glitters with silver light.

This was Cao Xing's fighting technique, the Golden and Silver Hands, which he was now using in combination with the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique.

The enormous dragon claw, as large as a mountain gate, tore down, and golden light swept across. Kuang Wen's expression changed drastically. He felt that the "Heaven-Sweeping Dust-Wielding Sword" in his hand suddenly became like an ordinary object, its spiritual light extinguished. The next moment, a silver light swept across, and millions of silver threads suddenly exploded.

With a loud "crack!!", the whisk suddenly exploded, instantly destroying the high-grade magic weapon that Kuang Wen had rented.

This left not only Kuang Wen, but everyone who had been watching Cao Xing's side through Tianluo dumbfounded.

That whisk is a top-grade mid-level magic weapon, combining both strength and flexibility. Even if it clashed head-on with a high-grade magic weapon, it might not be damaged in the slightest.

This kid smashed it with one slap?!

Is this person human or a demon?

The destruction of the magical artifact triggered a backlash that turned Kuang Wen pale. Before he could catch his breath, two notifications appeared.

[All ritual implements and magical treasures are for rent only. If any damage occurs, compensation will be paid ten times the rental price.]

Please immediately pay compensation for "The Heavenly Whisk," totaling six thousand four hundred taels.

Upon seeing the compensation amount, Kuang Wen felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, as if he had nearly plummeted from the clouds!

Cao Xing's performance startled everyone who was waiting to see a good show.

That was a mid-grade magic weapon, and he shattered it with a single slap. What kind of method did this kid use?

Is he even human?

While everyone was still in shock, Cao Xing had already charged over.

The combined power of the Five Phases Dragon Transformation Technique and the Golden and Silver Hands was even stronger than he had expected. Now that they were here, Cao Xing had no intention of letting these people go.

The earthen dragon rose from the ground, its enormous claws slapping down towards the air, flashing with dazzling golden light as they descended upon the three of them.

"not good!!"

Seeing this, Kuang Wen's two fellow disciples sensed something was wrong and wanted to escape on a cloud, but before the dragon claw could land, a dazzling golden light covered the three of them.

As all laws were extinguished, the dark clouds beneath their feet were instantly pierced by golden light, causing them to fall from mid-air without warning.

All three were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but their physical bodies were not much stronger than ordinary people. When they fell from mid-air, they were immediately dazed and confused.

"die!"

Before the three could catch their breath, the earth dragon's tail swirled, causing the earth to churn and carrying down tons of rocks.

"Rumble~~~"

"Oh!!"

The three of them only had time to scream once before they were swept into the ground by the mudslide.

Then Cao Xinglong slammed his claw down hard.

With a deafening boom, the surrounding rocks trembled, and blood seeped out from under the soft soil. Clearly, the three Taoist priests from Shangqing Temple had been smashed into a pulp by this slap.

The three Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were killed by Cao Xing before they could even unleash their full power. Cao Xing didn't even have time to use his magic weapons. This scene made everyone watching feel chills.

In an instant, the barrage of comments rained down.

[What kind of magic is this? Isn't it a teleportation technique? How can it absorb the earth's energy for its own use?]

[I've never heard of Shangfang Temple possessing such magical arts. Aren't they skilled in the Pure Yang Limitless Technique?]

[This kid's methods seem to possess the power of annihilation. Unless one's cultivation level is higher than his, ordinary spells can be easily neutralized by him. Coupled with his ability to absorb local earth energy and transform it into a dragon, killing him will probably not be an easy task.]

Within the Qiongshan Incense Gathering, there were many experts, even those at the Golden Core stage, who gasped in shock upon witnessing Cao Xing's abilities.

They racked their brains but couldn't find the source of Cao Xing's methods; they were definitely not from the Upper Temple's magic.

They initially thought that with the three main members of the Upper Temple killed, the disciples who tried to seize the incense were nothing but a bunch of incompetent fools. But now it seems they were wrong.

With Cao Xing's abilities, ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would have no chance against him.

Compared to discussions about Cao Xing, there was much more cursing directed at Kuang Wen and the other two.

Damn it, my points at Sanqing Temple have dropped.

These three good-for-nothings, if you're going to die, don't drag me down with you.

[Idiot, you don't understand tactics at all? Don't you know the proper formation of the three units? If the other two had cooperated on the left and right, we wouldn't have been wiped out in one fell swoop!!]

[These three are complete idiots! The Sanqing Temple is full of pig brains! Didn't they teach us anything? Fighting head-on with magic weapons? What about sneak attacks? What about suppressing with talismans? Damn it, they want me to invest money in them? Invest my ass in their motherfucker!]

The barrage of curses was like a torrential downpour. Gu Yangweng, the Golden Core cultivator who led the team from Sanqing Temple, was so cursed that he didn't dare to utter a sound, fearing that someone would really come knocking on his door. He even changed out of his Sanqing Temple robe and hid in some corner, not daring to show his face.

At this moment, Cao Xing had already stripped the three corpses naked.

They took all the talismans, pills, and magical artifacts without missing a single one, which was quite a good income. It was just a pity that none of the three of them had a single golden incense stick.

After glancing at the light mirror hanging high above his head, Cao Xing disappeared back into the earth without looking back, this time choosing a more secluded direction.

Killing three Foundation Establishment cultivators is not difficult, but if he provokes those Golden Core cultivators, he will be in trouble.

Cao Xing knew very well how troublesome these Golden Core experts were.

With a golden core in their body, they are a unified whole, and their cultivation level is completely different from that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Although he had a magic weapon as a trump card, there was no need for him to get entangled with a Golden Core cultivator.

However, things often don't go as planned.

Cao Xing had only been gone a short while when he sensed a hidden aura locking onto him.

Cao Xing was startled. The aura was far away, but he could clearly sense that he had been locked onto by the other party.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem afraid of being discovered.

A chilling murderous aura was relentlessly emanating from him, like a venomous snake coiling around his ankle.

Cao Xing's heart skipped a beat, and the image of the giant red-scaled python involuntarily flashed into his mind: "Damn it, it's that serpent!"
